# Notes about Flatpak browsers

Do not install vdhcoapp within the `/usr/` directory, it won't be detected by your browser. [See here why]([url](https://github.com/aclap-dev/vdhcoapp/issues/160)).

**Firefox**: it should work out of the box.

**Chromium based browsers (Chrome, Brave, …)**: if the coapp is not visible from your browser, you can trigger the coapp flatpak registration with: `vdhcoapp install`.
